"Yes, yes. We'll leave immediately." The people who sent the bride all threw down their sedan chairs and walked away without looking back.

Chu Qingyao sat in the palanquin, listening to the footsteps outside disappear. She waited for a long time, but no one spoke, so she could only get down from the palanquin.

Under the eaves hung a palace lamp, allowing her to clearly see the situation in front of her. In the empty courtyard, not a single ghost could be seen.

She was the only one standing there, panting heavily. She was not in the mood to be sad. She glanced at the house in the yard, then pushed open the door and walked in.

Having lost so much blood, coupled with being tossed around in the cold wind for most of the night, if she didn't rest properly, she would definitely be bedridden in the morning.

He took a careful look outside and confirmed that there was no one there. She gently closed the door and carefully reached for the bed before lying down on it.

Before she could properly lie down, her chest was suddenly held down by someone. "This King didn't realize that you were in such a hurry to climb onto This King's bed?" Her voice was ice-cold, causing the hearts of the crowd to tremble.

Ah!" Chu Qingyao cried out in alarm. Without any warning, she hit the back of her head on the bed, almost causing her to faint from the pain. He gathered his strength and shouted angrily, "Who are you? "Let me go quickly.

She tried to struggle, but the hand moved to her neck.

As the man exerted force, an intense pain came from the back of his head. The wound that had yet to scab started bleeding again.

Chu Qingyao did not dare to move, as she opened her mouth in an attempt to breathe. In the darkness, her black eyes could not clearly make out the person she was wearing.

Until she was able to breathe a little, only then did she probe and ask, "You are Xuanyuan Zhi?"

The man sneered, "You dare call This King by his name, I'll send you to your death right now."

"Wait …" Just as Chu Qingyao opened her mouth to speak, she felt herself flying into the air. With a loud 'peng', her head slammed into the ground again.

She didn't even have time to scream before she fell into darkness.

"Someone, drag her out." Smelling the smell of blood in the house, Xuanyuan Zhi was annoyed.

The shadow guard came in with a lantern, he glanced at Chu Qingyao, "Prince, she lost a lot of blood. If she wasn't treated, she probably wouldn't live past tomorrow."

Xuanyuan Zhi stared at Chu Qingyao and saw that her face was wrinkled and more blood was flowing out from her wound. A beautiful flower appeared on the back of her head, causing her skin to look even more translucent.

"Qi Sha, do you think she can really cure my leg?" Xuanyuan Zhi hesitated and opened his mouth.

The guard hesitated, "Subordinate... "I don't know."

Who didn't know that the young miss of the Prime Minister's Estate was infatuated with the Prince Hui all day long? To say that she could heal the Prince's legs would be more convincing than saying that the sky was raining red.

Xuanyuan Zhi naturally understood the hidden guard's thoughts, but he wanted to gamble, "Help her stop the bleeding."

A cold light flashed in his eyes. Chu Qingyao, if your life is tough enough, I will give you a chance to live. You … It's best not to disappoint This King.

You cannot afford to lie to This King!

"Prince, I …" The shadow guard held the hemostatic medicine in his hand, not knowing how to make a move. No matter what, the one on the ground was the prince's woman, he didn't dare to move!

"Apply the medicine." Xuanyuan Zhi looked displeased. Right now, in his eyes, Chu Qingyao was even inferior to the servants of the Prince's Mansion. Asking others to help her stop the bleeding was because he was trying to lift her high.

The Dark Guard raised Chu Qingyao's head, and used a bottle of hemostatic medicine to stop the bleeding. Staring at the huge pool of blood on the ground, he felt a faint pain at the back of his head.

"Prince, the back of her head should have been injured in the first place." The secret guard was able to tell at a glance that the injury on the back of Chu Qingyao's head was impossible to knock out.

Xuanyuan Zhi's face darkened, but he did not say anything.

After dealing with the blood on the ground, the dark guard was about to ask for instructions on how to deal with the people on the ground. Xuanyuan Zhi had already opened his mouth, "Carry her to bed."

The guard was stunned and didn't move for a long time.

"Ugh …" He must have heard wrongly. His Royal Highness was such a germaphobic person, why would he put a woman whose head was covered in blood on the bed?

"Don't tell me you can't even hold a woman!" These words were filled with anger.

The guard quickly bent over and carefully carried Chu Qingyao to the end of the bed.

"Go check, where did the wound on her head come from?" Xuanyuan Zhi could not understand, the Emperor was prepared to use this woman that the crown prince did not want to humiliate him, who would dare to make a move against Chu Qingyao?

If Chu Qingyao died early, wouldn't that mean that the emperor's goal wouldn't be achieved!

After the secret guard went down, he lowered his head to look at Chu Qingyao. Her delicate face was delicate, except that her face was frighteningly pale. Perhaps it was because of the pain, but even when she was unconscious, her eyebrows were still tightly knitted together.

Chu Qingyao, if you can cure my leg, I will let you live.

Xuanyuan Zhi's gaze fell on empty space, because he had been busy the entire night in the study room, he leaned on the headboard and slept. At daybreak, Chu Qingyao moved a little and slowly opened her eyes.

Actually, the moment she moved, Xuanyuan Zhi woke up. It was just that he maintained his original position.

Looking at the unfamiliar environment, Chu Qingyao suddenly remembered what happened last night and hurriedly got up. When he saw Xuanyuan Zhi who was pretending to be asleep at the side, he panicked for no reason. Only after hearing Xuanyuan Zhi's calm aura did he heave a sigh of relief.

As he lowered his head to look at his clothes, he knew that Xuanyuan Zhi had not touched him and his impression of him had improved quite a bit.

After checking the medical system, he found that there were some high grade instruments that could be used. Delighted, she endured the intense pain on the back of her head and carefully moved in front of Xuanyuan Zhi, using her white fingers to touch his pulse.

She was a surgeon, and although she was not proficient in traditional Chinese medicine, she was concealing her pulse. Xuanyuan Zhi opened his eyes and saw Chu Qingyao's serious expression, a trace of disdain flashed past her eyes. Chu Qingyao, let's see how long you can pretend for!

The ticking of the instrument in his head meant that the diagnosis was over. Chu Qingyao opened her eyes and coincidentally met with Xuanyuan Zhileng's frosty eyes. She hesitated for a moment, deliberately ignoring his gaze. "Prince, you're awake?"

Xuanyuan Zhi did not say anything, as if he could see deep into her heart through her clear and pure eyes. Chu Qingyao had a feeling that she had been seen through, which made her feel very uncomfortable. Being in close contact with this man made her feel breathless and she wanted to escape.

"Chu Qingyao, if you can cure this king's legs, I will allow you to freely enter and exit the Prince Zhi's Mansion." The man's voice was cold and overbearing.

Chu Qingyao was stunned, she was allowed to freely enter and exit the Prince's Mansion? "She doesn't need it." Your Royal Highness, why don't we change our conditions? If I am able to cure you, you can let me go. "
